  hello,
  
  You need to write more code to get the Author name. I'll show you how to get the author name but you have to figure out on how to display it.
  
  static List AddBooks(List storeItems)
          {
              string[] books = Reader.ReadLines(PathMgr.BOOKS_FILE);
  
              //get the authors from authors.csv
              string[] authors = Reader.ReadLines(PathMgr.AUTHORS_FILE);
  
              string[] authorDetail;
              string authorName = string.Empty;
             
              for (int i = 0; i < books.Length; i++)
              {
                  string[] booksDetail = books[i].Split(',');
                 
                  for (int a = 0; a < authors.Length; a++)
                  {
                      //author book identifier abcef123,
                      //author last and first name Martinuzzi, Bruna
                      authorDetail = authors[a].Split(",".ToCharArray());
                      //if the book written by the author then get their first and last name
                      if (authorDetail[(int)Reader.eAuthors.random] == booksDetail[(int)Reader.eBooks.random])
                      {
                          authorName = authorDetail[(int)Reader.eAuthors.firstName] + authorDetail[(int)Reader.eAuthors.lastName];
                          break;
                      }
                  }
  
  
                  decimal booksPrice =
                      Convert.ToDecimal(booksDetail[(int)Reader.eBooks.price]);
  
                  storeItems.Add(new Books(booksDetail[(int)Reader.eBooks.name],
                                              booksDetail[(int)Reader.eBooks.publish],
                                              booksPrice));
              }
              return storeItems;
          }
  
  
  
  Thanks,

  The problem is that you explicitly told the program to output just "Author name:". Look at the Books.cs.
